KINGWOOD — If the shoe fits, steal it.

Surveillance video on a Houston-area house shows a woman driving up to the home, opening packages that were left at the front door, taking some shoes from one of the boxes and trying them on before swiping the footwear.

KTRK-TV (http://bit.ly/14syfkp ) reported Monday that the homeowners in the Kingwood area don’t know the woman, who’s also seen going through their mailbox.

Jason Jodway says a normal thief would probably take the stuff, put it in the car and drive away. Jodway says he doesn’t understand why the woman spent about 15 minutes on his front porch to pick and choose what she wanted.

Law officers hope someone will recognize the suspect. She wore shorts, a tank top and flip-flops during the recent theft.
